Cimetidine-induced interstitial nephritis with response to prednisone therapy

W A Kaye et al. Arch Intern Med. 1983 Apr.

Abstract

Acute renal failure developed in a patient after she received cimetidine therapy. A renal biopsy specimen showed acute interstitial nephritis. Withdrawal of cimetidine therapy led to improvement of renal function. Rechallenge with cimetidine occurred during prednisone therapy. Renal function continued to improve, but worsened when the treatment with these steroids was discontinued.
